Title sums things up.
This is more detailed than the hundred push-ups site.
You're provided with 6 different workout programs, depending
on what your strength level is. They span from 7 to 10 weeks,
depending on how fast or slow you want to take it.
This also includes additional warm-up exercises + illustrations
and stretching post-push ups illustrations.
Even more once you're done with the 100 push ups challenge it provides
a lot of alternative ways for you to do your next 100 push ups so you
increase your strength further.
I'm pleased with the book :)

I found the website first, and I was very impressed with it. I started the exercise program and got all the way to week 4, but then started to struggle with progress. I then started to wonder if the book might provide more information that could get me past my plateau, so I bought it.
Quite frankly, I think there is actually less info in the book. The extras that the webite refer to are simply trivia and historical facts about other people's press-up records. Nothing in the book provided extra training tips, or advice on form, that I could use. Not only that, the sets of press-ups required to complete each training session are completely different in the book to the ones published on the website, so to continue with the program I was already on I would have to ignore the information in the book I just paid for!
I have switched to the sets planned out in the book, and I am now making slow progress again, but I don't think it's the book that actually helped me. If you haven't lost money on this product already, I would suggest you steer clear and use the free online version.

There is nothing new in this book at all and I don't think the approach of increasing numbers and sets but leaving rest periods the same works either.Doing a 100 press ups divided into sets of ten or twenty and steadily decreasing the rest period makes more sense and certainly got me up to 60 press ups at 44 years old. All those who follow and are successful with the program from the book must be super light with incredible muscular endurance. I find it hard to believe that a runner with no previous upper body training can succeed with this program, as stated in the book.

as easy as can be
The program is really well done, easy to follow and to accomodate with. I'm still half way through while writing this, but I would say that results are sure on their way. Read more

Completely bogus, this "program" does not work!!!!
This "program" (using the term very loosely) is completely bogus, it does not work--and I think the people behind it know that. Read more

Disappointing, obviously it doesn't work for everyone
Disappointing. I followed the programme in this book exactly but did not achieve the results it promised (strength, body tone, etc). Obviously it doesn't work for everyone.

VERY EFFECTIVE and ACCESSABLE
I cannot recommend this book enough...
The book caters for ALL levels (even if you can't yet do a press-up). There are 7 levels of a ability all in all. Read more

Great gradual break in to a difficult exercise.
Press ups, for me- associated with punishment for misdemeanours in the military, or in the Dojo or in PE at school. Read more
